The Los Angeles Dodgers have traded for Craig Kimbrel from the Chicago White Sox, with A.J. Pollock going to the ChiSox in the deal, per reports. This is apparently straight up one-for-one deal with no cash involved.
This is a pretty interesting trade — both players are expensive veterans on short term deals who have upside but also red flags. Kimbrel is in the final year of a deal that will pay him $16 million in 2022. At one time the best reliever in the game, Kimbrel signed a hefty free agent deal with the Chicago Cubs after the 2018 season, but struggled in his first two years with the Cubs, putting up ERAs of 6.
